Hi, I'm Kerrie, a product photographer based in Manningtree in Essex. Styled came about after I noticed my love of capturing the details at the weddings I photographed. I loved taking the brides jewellery and shoes off to make creative pictures, and adored styling their invitations and favours to compliment their wedding day. From this I decided that perhaps I should delve into the world of product photography and help small business owners create compelling visual images to use to sell their items online.

Having a huge passion for all things handmade, eco friendly and independent I knew immediately that those were the sort of businesses I wanted to connect with. I love meeting passionate creative people who put their all into not only their crafts but also into their business.

Outside of photography I enjoy ballet and yoga and walking my puppy Tagg. I'm also a very amateur crochet-er (is that a word?!) and enjoy DIY and arts and crafts projects around the home.

I work exclusively with crafters, makers, artisans and small independent businesses, and I hope that you will soon be added to my list of clients too!

"I Have a passion for all things handmade"

I run a successful wedding photography business outside of Styled, which often means during the summer I have to take on less clients that I would ideally love to be working with which is why I dreamed up the idea of 'Styled School'.

I love to pass on the things I have learnt, not only through photography but also in business as well to help others to succeed. Styled School is a series of online courses designed to take complete beginners through the process of taking their own compelling product photography.

Through my blog I aim to share not only my most recent work, but tips on running a small business and advice to improve your photography.

I'm passionate about supporting small business, and Styled has helped me to do just that.

"ITS ABOUT CREATING IMAGES THAT INSPIRE YOUR AUDIENCE"

But it definitely needs to look good! We live in a very visual orientated world, and great photography is what sells your work. That's why I decided to start up Styled. To help free all of you makers, crafters and small business owners from mundane product shots and instead create images that really let your wares shine through.

I'm here to help you create interesting, creative styled images of your new products. I specialise in taking photos in situ showing off the lifestyle they should be used in. Once completed you'll have full rights to use the images online, in marketing materials and in any other way you may need to to promote your business.

"your mood board will give me insight into just how you envision your products to be styled"

After getting in touch and booking in for your product shoot we'll allocate a day that your shoot will take place. I'll also send you a link to a secret pinterest board created just for you. From here we can both pin ideas for props, styling, and aesthetics that you may be attracted to. This board will give me an insight into just how you envision your products to be styled and shot.

When the day of your shoot comes, I'll work to the pinterest board brief we have created and get busy shooting your items. I'm always happy to source props, but you can also provide your own too. Once finished I'll upload your images to an online gallery (usually 2-3 days after the shoot) where you can review them.

Once reviewed, and you are happy you'll need to pay the remaining balance for your shoot and then you will receive a link to download the high resolution images for you to use as you wish.

Easy-peasy right?!

ET ME TELL YOU HOW THE PROCESS WORKS...

post and shoot

TEACH YOURSELF!

To save you lots of time, I offer a Post and Shoot service. Just package up your goods, pop them in the post and I'll send them back once your images are ready.

If you're not quite ready for your own bespoke shoot, Styled School can teach you to take your own product photos to sell your goods. Right now there is a free course available!

INVESTMENT

I like to keep pricing simple, and so really there are just two costs you need to mull over.

My half day rate is £175 this usually equates to around 3 hours of shooting, and my full day rate is £300 for (you get it!) 6 hours. To give you an idea of how long you may need, in three hours I can probably photograph about 15 styled set-ups of your products. I usually shoot from my home in Manningtree in Essex, however if you'd prefer me to come and shoot on your premises thats absolutely fine. Travel will be added onto the price for any locations further than 30 miles from me.

My post and shoot service is exactly the same price plus the cost of returning your items to you.

For larger scale shoots involving models (usually fashion orientated shoots) costs are worked out on a bespoke basis depending on your plans. Just get in contact for a quote.
